Fans swarmed across the paddock to get a picture with the seven-time world champion impersonator ahead of tomorrow’s FP1 and FP2 session in Barcelona.

George is very consistent in getting the most out of the car in qualifying, he is very good at that, maybe in the race, Lewis' pace is stronger sometimes, but in qualifying, George is ahead.
James Allison said ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix

James Allison was quick to point out that Hamilton’s race pace has been better than Russell’s on a couple of occasions, which highlights the seven-time world champion’s ability to perform under tough conditions. However, Allison also asserted that Russell is one of the better drivers on the grid in terms of extracting the most out of the car in qualifying, as he has shown time and again this season.

George Russell earned the pole position in Montreal and scored the first podium of the season for Mercedes during the Canadian GP. He will be looking to rectify the mistakes that cost him the win in Montreal ahead of the Spanish GP, which is a stern test for Mercedes given their improvement in pace and prowess.
